Still goin'...

Hey,

Was hoping to have finished "Bright Lights, Big City" painting by now, still about 5hrs or so left I reckon...I'll put it up in the next week or so.

Here's the Lyrics.

Bright Lights Big City – Jimmy Reed

Bright light, big city, gone to my baby's head
Whoa, bright light, an'big city, gone to my baby's head
I tried to tell the woman, but she don't believe a word I said

It's all right, pretty baby, (gonna) need my help someday
Whoa, it's all right, pretty baby, gonna need my help someday
Ya' gonna wish you had a-listened, to some a-those things I said

Go ahead, pretty baby, a-honey, knock yourself out
Oh go ahead, pretty baby, honey, knock yourself out
I still love ya baby, 'cause you don't know what it's all about

Bright light, a big city, they went to my baby's head
Oh, the bright light, the big city, they went to my baby's head
I hope you remember, a-some of those things I said

Next painting is Johnny Cash "Don't Take Your Guns To Town"

Johnny Cash "Don't Take Your Guns To Town" At the Town Hall Party 58'

Ancient Weavers

Hey.

Just finished the Ronnie and Keith painting. 101 days left to go to I get to see them play their old "Ancient Form of Weaving" again. Can't wait.

Done layout sketch for Jimmy Reed "Bright Lights, Big City painting yesterday. Start the painting tomorra.

The Final 6 are:

Jimmy Reed - Bright Lights, Big City
Johnny Cash - Don't Take Your Guns to Town
Memphis Minnie - yet to be decided, either Bumble Bee or Drunken Barrel house Blues at the moment
Bruce Springsteen - Thunder Road
Joan Baez - The Hitchhiker Song, but again not 100% decided (Maybe Diamonds and Rust??)
Jimi Hendrix - Voodoo Chile, but again yet decided.

Here's the Jimmy Reed rough.

Howdy again,

Didn't get chance to post anythin' last week...Busy paintin'....
Just finished number 10 of 16 of the main series. "Ode to Billie Joe" by Bobbie Gentry. 

Here's the rough.

And the final painting...

Also completed the Ronnie and Keith painting this mornin', I'll post the final next week, but for now here's the layout sketch. Keith's hair's a bit big, but fixed in the painting. You get the idea but.

Been listenin' to the Stones all week, from the first record through (Up to "Dirty Work" as I speak, has some great stuff on it regardless of what the stupid critics say). Favorite band of all time I'd reckon. Can't wait to see them again in October.

Here's some Keith and Ronnie in 74' for the release of the awesome debut Ronnie solo record "I've Got My Own Album to Do"

So, up next is Memphis Minnie, then the final 5. I'll letcha know next week exactly. Need to do me some plannin', make sure I've got the bases covered. Should have Memphis Minnie underway by then hopefully, still deciding on the song. Got some listenin' and some research to do tomorra.
